I have dehydrated over the wood stove in cookie sheets lined with parchment paper (not my favorite only because the top of the wood stove is somewhat curved and that gets tricky. LOL But otherwise I use silicone trays with edges so the liquid stays in in Nesco round dehydrators (I found two...

I used to water glass my eggs in hydrated lime but then discovered that the bloom on eggs isn't 100% coverage and lime or mineral oil or anything else that coats the eggs can seep slowly through where there's no bloom. And I kind of suspected because, to be honest, I could always smell a little...

Mine are almost a year old and their yolks are also runny. Most of them were anyway all year. Only a few were pretty fresh looking and plump. Because they are so old, I just use them in baking, but might switch to just scrambling them for the chickens to use up the last dozen we have. The last...
